I do not like this company. The whole gimmick seems a bit ghoulish when you think more about it.

True, but that's capitalism in general, trying to make a profit from whatever populace you can, their audience happens to be a more vulnerable minority.
As part of their minority though, I like the rabbits. They're cute, fluffy, and I have one.
I do understand the appeal, to a degree. Don't hate people who like them or anything like that.
Capitalism is bad, yeah, but this particular brand of marketing mental illness as cutesy "uwu" stuffed toys just digs at me in a bad way. Especially, as you said, it's marketed to a vulnerable populace.
You could argue that this helps to "de-stigmatize" or "un-demonize" mental illness, but something about this just feels wrong to me. And I love cute plush toys!
That's just me, though. Enjoy what you enjoy!
I can totally understand why it might feel that way, but for me it's helped, and maybe I can tell you how.
Whenever I get depressed or sad about my condition, it's provided an additional stress outlet by being able to just cuddle something that I can put as the focus for it. There's probably other healthy coping mechanisms you can do, but having something cute and cuddly as the focus also stops me from focusing on things I shouldn't as much, it makes the world and the condition seem less scary to me. I mean how can it be scary right? There's something cute and cuddly that has the same thing. I know that's not unflawed logic, but it helps.
Just looked up and... I mean the rabbit is cute but $45 is a bit steep esp. for a plush that size
Does any of the profit go to an autism-related charity?
